Told through paintings and journal entries dated 1747 through 1777, this remarkable story begins when William Bartram is just eight years old. His adventures with his father, John Bartram, bring him into contact with native people, plants, animals, and even Benjamin Franklin. (Miller Library Staff)
Young Billy Bartram keeps a journal of his experiences learning about the plants of the colonial United States from his father, John Bartram, as they travel together gathering specimens and planting seeds.
